We want you to get back to what you love. Our goal is to help you focus on your team-based care and the one thing that matters most – making patients healthier.
We’re here to help you achieve that by successfully participating in the Quality Payment Program. Review the following four tips and contact us for support.
Tip 1: Determine Eligibility
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), a payment model under the Quality Payment Program, requires eligible clinicians to report performance in the categories of: Quality, Promoting Interoperability, Improvement Activities, and Cost. Your overall performance in these categories will earn you a possible positive payment adjustment but a failure to report will result in a negative payment adjustment.

Tip 2: Select Measures & Activities
After determining if you are eligible, the specialty of your practice affects key factors of participation and reporting.
Your specialty influences what measures you select and your collection type (i.e. claims, CQMs, or eCQMS).
